Be A MentorDo you remember what it felt like when you were young and an adult listened to you and took an interest in you? Are you willing to return the favor for another child today? Your gift of time and caring can make a difference. Look up mentoring opportunities on the 1-800-volunteer.org link. Many different opportunities are available. In-school and after-school tutoring, community mentoring, and small group activities are only some examples. Find one that fits your interests and the time you have to give. Remember who mentored you and volunteer today!
